Mainly English and Deutsch (German for the infidels) and a bit of scottish, my mums side from England has been here since the late 1800's and my dads side from Germany and Scotland has been here since about federation so I consider myself a native not like those cave dwelling abbos

I'm not sure of the parts of my ancestry, but I believe that it is a Norman-Celtic-Austrian background, my mother is from a mixed English-Irish background (her mother is majority Irish, her father all Norman English) My Norman side is decended from Very close and higher Nobles of William the Conqeurer, and members of my family ruled Dorset, and were some of the first Colonials in America, (being governors of Virginia) and also one ancestor was one of the first to receive a Victoria Cross.

Both sides had many men who fought in service of Britain, and Ireland during their individual times of need, and I believe some fought each other at times! (Irish war of independence)

My father's side i believe is English-Scottish, I believe the English could be first fleet, the Scottish is 2 Generations ago. I had family on my fathers side who traveled the world, and some in the EIC (reflected by the fact I inherited a coin collection, containing East India Company coins from 1835) and some had served in both wars (reflected by coins from Belgium and France from the WW1 years, and a French coin from 1944, just after Liberation)

The Austrian is based on genetic germanic features, and the fact that during the days of my families Nobility, we had relatives marry off to Austrian men.

I was born into Catholicism, though I do not practise it.

My step-father is of a Yugoslav (bosniak) and English background.....Perosnally, I take the stance of the Third Reich on the case of Bosniaks...Aryans / Germanic / Celts that were forced into Islam (which is true, Convert or Die) though his family was never a practising Family. (his father is Bosniak)....I do believe on that side he had some in the service of the Third Reich and the Independent State of Croatia...

Maltese & Scottish descent and enormously proud to be Australian. I wish everyone felt as privileged to live in this country as my immigrant grandparents, they embraced the way of life and reminded us often how great it is to be Australian.

Hmm. I am not sure. But the Northern Irish still consider themselves 100% Irish and certainly not even remotely British or English I can assure you, even though they are part of the UK.

You have know idea what you are talking about!
Ulster/Northen Ireland is British and has a culture of its own (Ulster Scots)
Ireland/Erire/The Republic of Ireland has its own culture which is Irish.
I will not go into the nitty gritty of it as if you were not brought up with it, it will take you a long time to understand.
We should start with there is a difference!

I think they are mostly Scottish, and the Scottish came from Ireland, so that would make them genetically Irish. They are just confused.

They are a Scottish-English mix, with between 60-70% being Scottish and the remainder English. The Scottish element is almost wholly descended from lowland Scots, and lowland Scots are ethnically Anglo-Saxon, and only ended up on the Scottish side of the border due to a deal made by an English king during Viking times.

Try telling an Ulster Loyalist he is confused about his heritage, and is really Irish, and you won't get a very pleasant response.
